Indeed. I actually think, given the current needs in the squad, that Thelwell has done alright so far. To retain the services of Harrison whilst adding N'diaye & Lindstrom on top of addressing the CB situation with O'Brien is positive. My main concerns are actually in central midfield and at full back - unless he plans on properly integrating Patterson into the side then we really could do with another option.
I think he has done allright too. We arguably look stronger in the forward line with
ndiaye and Lindstrom replacing Danjuma.
Central midfield we have potentially weakened but I don’t know enough about Tim other than what I’ve seen in pre season where he looks handy. I didn’t know anything about Onana prior to him signing so jury is out for me.
Yes we have lost Gomes as well but with a couple more options for the doucoure role, he may be seen as cover for CM as well now.
The right back issue is the big one. I like Patterson but if he isn’t viewed as the answer, he needs sent out on loan as a minimum and a starter brought in.
